I did not even check the temperature before I left for the evening bike ride. I was afraid the temperature would be below my 60 degree threshold. When I got back I saw the temperature on my weather station was 56 degrees and 51 degrees at Intercontinental Airport. Thankfully the wind was calm or the wind chill would have probably moved it into the 40’s. I dressed like it was cool with two long sleeve jerseys, wind jacket, full-finger gloves, and leg warmers. Even with this I was chilly until the 2.5 mile point. Then the body heat kicked in and I was comfortable until the end of the ride. Darkness seems to accentuate the chill. The Raleigh M800 is well suited for these rides with the light system of two flashing taillights and headlight.Today was the first one that the sky was clear. Tomorrow is supposed to be a repeat.
